Uhhhhhhh is this bit from US prosecutors' sentencing memorandum in the Reza Zarrab case new? A fellow inmate apparently showed Zarrab a homemade knife and told Zarrab that he was paid to kill Zarrab for cooperating with US prosecutors against “big people in Turkey”

The "big people in Turkey" bit might be new but the story came up a bit during trial www.courthousenews.com/turkish-gold...

Full sentencing memorandum available here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In Zarrab's sentencing memorandum, his lawyers write that they believe Turkey sees his cooperation as treason "because it has exposed corruption at the highest levels of Turkish government and thwarted Turkey's ability to fraudulently inflate its economy by helping Iran bypass U.S. sanctions"
